Q&A with Karen Dietz, Question 6:
Q: If you could share just one piece of advice or wisdom about story/storytelling/narrative with readers, what would it be?
A: When telling stories, ask yourself “What am I giving others?” and “What am I giving myself?” An answer to both questions provides volumes of information about how you hope to connect with the audience, and what meaning the stories have for you personally. Knowing both is essential to mastering storytelling, in my humble opinion.
